Description

Resembling a hot chilli these superheated blue tendrils of ionized oxygen are remnants of a spectacular supernova that occurred some 11,000 years ago.

Located in Vela some 800 LY distant, this small isolated section of this vast region silhouetted against a background rich in Ha seemed worthy of attention it’s own right - as after an exhaustive search, there don’t appear to be any stand alone studies online of this beautiful waveform.

Photographed over three nights from my light polluted suburban backyard in Melbourne, Australia.

Acquisition was made using Stellarmate on a Rpi4 😊
